Award:Legion of Arms

This award is authorized to members of SFI who have actively served 180 days or more in the active or reserve components of their country's armed forces. In the case of the United States, this includes the Marine Corps, Navy, Army, Air Force, Coast Guard and Space Force. It does not include the Merchant Marine or service auxiliaries like the Civil Air Patrol. It does include the Reserve Officer Training Courses (such as ROTC), or similar organizations. The member must have completed two years of service and summer camp (basic training, MS3) for the United States Armed Services. Other countries' qualifying service will be authorized by the COFORCECOM on an as needed basis. This award may be worn at the same time as the Cadet Legion of Arms if the wearer has qualified to wear both awards. However, it is discouraged and the preferred wear for those who are qualified for both awards is that the Legion of Arms is the only one worn.
